Privacy Policy
Your privacy is very important to us. It is the policy of Kitchen Spirit to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website. We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights. We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.
Website Visitors & Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Like most website operators, Kitchen Spirit, hereinafter referred to as “the company,” collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. The purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use the website.
We do not collect any personal information from Visitors when they use the Website unless they provide such information voluntarily, such as by registering or sending us an email or signing up for a newsletter. All information we collect and/or receive under this section is collectively called “Personal Information.” The amount and type of information gathered depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, if the comment section of the website blog is activated, visitors who leave comments may be asked to provide a username and email address. And for those who wish to receive updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, the website collects only such information necessary to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with website. The company does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
The company also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs (if the comment section is activated). The company only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
